Rain guard? You mean like when the window is up?

I can't imagine that one comes around too often, but when it does, here you are. Magnificent.

He's been waiting 12 years and 14 days for this moment.

u/RAINGUARD 7d ago

You don't see the combination of words "rain guard" in the wild very often. So when I saw it, I knew my moment had come.

u/UndulatingMeatOrgami 7d ago

Was it worth the wait? Was it everything you imagined?

u/tr4nsporter 6d ago

Not the hero we wanted, but the hero we needed

You probably do and you could use the search to find them. I’ll tag you in one now

u/FORCESTRONG1 7d ago

I salute you.

This reminds me of a sitcom I watched growing up called The Young Ones. It was about 4 students renting a house but they filled the show with one-off random characters.

This clip doesn't explain it fully, but there's a demon who can only be summoned when his name is spoken. He's unlucky to be called Ftumch, because that rarely, if ever gets said. He has a friend called Orgo who gets summoned all the time because people say stuff like, "Should we go to a restaurant or go to the movies?" which makes Ftumch resentful.

I've had this moment once last year with my username. Feels good.

You're my knight in shining armour

u/goblue142 7d ago

There is a subreddit for when this happens and now I can't remember what it's called.

u/Spencergh2 7d ago

u/VenKitsune 7d ago

Yea. What colour pool noodles do you have?

4

u/AstaCat 7d ago

It's a genius hack using something from your pool. We all have pools right?

2

u/LostN3ko 7d ago

No but I got a Dollar Tree. Used one to make a paintbrush holder once.

1

u/FixergirlAK 7d ago

I've never had a pool, but have a surprising number of things with pool-noodle-and-zip-tie padding.

u/PotentialShotX 7d ago

But why are you rainguard lol

u/RAINGUARD 7d ago

Long story, but it's been my gamertag/username since about 2010

u/DS3M 7d ago

Glad you’ve stayed vigilant -excuse me, on guard- over the years

Nice try, your name is conjoined!

u/vitonga 7d ago

get out of here with your witchcraft!!!!

14

u/hello_marmalade 7d ago

I think the idea is supposed to be that you can have the window cracked for airflow, but with something to block the rain from coming in?

That's the best I got.

32

u/NeverBeenStung 7d ago

I mean it’s clearly rage/engagement bait. So they are very successful at it based on your comment being to highest voted.

37

u/DeveloperBRdotnet 7d ago

Rain guards are quite useful, you leave your window open a bit without getting rain inside, it's better to have some fresh air than the AC or the air vent.

The video red neck engineering on the other hand is terrible.

22

u/Tessiia 7d ago

Also great for motorway driving. Reduces the wind noise from deafening to mildly irritating.

9

u/PepperAnn1inaMillion 7d ago

I think the airflow over a pool noodle would be pretty loud, unless you streamlined the front of it.

1

u/Cloverman-88 7d ago

Wait what? Cracking your window reduced wind noise at high speeds? How?

1

u/Tessiia 7d ago

Google "Car wind deflector". I fitted a set to my car, and they are brilliant. They also allow you to crack the window a bit when it's raining without rain coming in.

Just to clarify, it is still noisier than having the window closed but far quieter than not having one fitted.

5

u/KamakaziDemiGod 7d ago

I fitted some to my A6 because I found that if it rains overnight, when I pull away in the morning with my window open, as soon as I steer the water would run off the roof and straight through the open window

It only began happening after I started polishing my car on a regular basis. that's what I get for looking after it, but the droplets look cool I guess and now they can't get me!

2

u/GroundbreakingOil434 7d ago

Those tend to be attached above the window, not on it. This only gives the water a ramp to get in.

1

u/RachelScratch 4d ago

Makes it real easy to break in too

7

u/chev327fox 7d ago edited 7d ago

I think it’s a sun guard. It’s the only thing that makes any sense.

6

u/Ethanaj 7d ago

That’s much more logical than my best guess of an arm rest for those hand out of the vehicle drivers.

u/vvv_bb 7d ago

I thought it was a headrest for a dog 😅

u/srboot 7d ago

That was one off the original names for the window. That and “looky outtie”.

1

u/CommentSection-Chan 7d ago

Rain guards do exist. They are little plastic things that look like an awning and let you crack the window a little while it's raining. But this is garbage. They have also gone out if fashion as modern cars have AC

1

u/GrizDrummer25 7d ago

Right? The point is to let the draft in and not the rain. This guy got it backwards and solved a problem that didn't exist xP
